Murder Through the Looking Glass

Originally Aired: March 17, 1949

Suspense #332, "Murder Through the Looking Glass," stars Gregory Peck as Jeffrey Bruno, a Greenwich Village mystery writer who awakens on a train to Philadelphia with no memory of how he got there. When Jeffrey checks his wallet, he's shocked to discover identification and personal effects belonging to someone named John Blake, an insurance agent he's never heard of. His confusion turns to terror when he spots a newspaper headline screaming "Killer Blake Escape!" alongside a photograph that appears to be his own face. Jeffrey has no recollection of the past three days or why he was traveling under another man's identity.

Racing back to New York, Jeffrey learns from his neighbor Rosalie that these unexplained disappearances have happened before—days when he vanishes completely and awakens with no memory of where he's been or what he's done. Now, with police hunting for a murderer who looks exactly like him and carries his face, Jeffrey must uncover the truth about John Blake and discover whether he's being framed for murder or if something far more sinister is happening during his mysterious blackouts.
